Good Friday Morning All Stars,

 What are you afraid of?

 Are you afraid of asserting yourself, making decisions, intimacy, being alone, losing a loved one, ending a relationship, or changing something about yourself or business?

 Is it some of the above? All of the above? Perhaps you could add a few more to the list. Never mind...join the crowd! Fear seems to be epidemic in our society. We fear beginnings, we fear endings. We fear change, we fear staying the same. We fear success, we feel failure. We fear living, we fear dying.

 You may be surprised and encouraged to learn that while the inability to deal with fear may look and feel like a psycholological problem, in most cases it isn't. Actually it's primarily an educational problem, and by reeducating the mind you can accept fear as simply a fact of life rather than a barrier to success.

 Think about entering a new situation. To meet that new situation, imagine you received an extra burst of energy, your senses are heightened, and there is a tingling, an excitement in your body, and you become more sensitive and aware.

 Doesn't that sound great? Receiving the very thing we would need to do our best in a new situation! Well, that's precisely what does happen each time we enter a new, unfamiliar situation. Most of the time, however, we call it "fear" and we don't like it.

 Contrary to popular belief, your parents didn't teach you to feel fear. Our parents did teach us to use fear as a reason not to do something dangerous. But by eighteen or so, we should know the difference between that which is truly dangerous and what is merely new and uncomfortable. No one draws us aside and says, "That fear you've been using as a reason not to do things-it's actually part of the energy you need to get things done!"

 Once you know something is not physically dangerous, push yourself to go ahead and tackle that thing. It may feel uncomfortable (count on that), but you must keep moving one step after another in the direction of your objective. As you move in the right direction the energy will transform itself from barrier to blessing. You'll have energy, not limitation.

 Remember the five truths about fear:

1. The fear will never go away as long as you are growing as a person.

2. The only way to get rid of the fear of doing something is to go out and do it.

3. The only way to get the confidence I need to feel better about myself is to do it.

4. Not only am I going to experience fear, but so is everyone else.

5. Pushing through the fear is less frightening than living with it and feeling helpless. 

 This process of feeling the fear but doing it anyway reprograms our attitude from, "Fear means don't" to "Fear means, all systems go!"

 Thought for today: The only thing you have to fear is fear itself!

 Have a productive day and an incredible weekend.

BF
